Nice review and appreciate the update text about the Sub. Once you get used to it, it is enough and certainly not in need of an additional Sub to compliment it. The voice enhancement mode is never actually needed as the sound separation from real channels is good enough.

Hopefully you can do a review of the A7000 now that Sony has stated that in 2022 a software update will enable their new 360-degree sound mapping technology (like the A9 has) and the A7000 will be getting an optional up-firing rear speaker package with wide directional woofers, dome tweeters, and dual bass radiators.... This is a game-changer.

Just picked up my Q950A for under 1k. I can't for the life of me figure out what was going through the mind of the engineer, when they put that screen on the top🤔🤔🤔🤔. Luckily I have a Samsung TV and once you get everything set up you really don't need to look at the screen when you're using the Arc port. Very happy with the sound quality, it is Sennheiser-ish. Though I got a smoking deal, I do think the system is worth 1500 bucks.

Great review. Sincere thanks. As a newbie just wondering if the rear speakers should be faced outwards so as to bounce off the walls, or inwards towards the listener(s)?. Thanking you in advance,. Have seen one youtuber digest that they should be placed facing outwards, but I'm still not sure.
@neverenoughtech 2 жыл бұрын
The only reason you want to bounce off walls is if there is not a physical way to have sound directly pointed towards you. Like on the side of a soundbar or upward firing speakers. You most definitely want to point rear speakers toward you.

I have the 950T and paid 1k for it. Is it worth doing a full comparison to upgrade to the 950A? I've seen a few reviews but I am still not convinced the extra 2 rear side chanels and a few new features can justify an extra $600. The 950T has firmware 1017.5 when I bought it and now its 1019.5. Now I'm hoping that Samsung will release another update to allow fine tuning equalizers instead of just bass and treble (similar to standard mode advance EQ).

But how does such a sound bar play a soundtrack of a movie or a game that is designed for 5.1? What do all the extra speakers do in this case especially the up firing speakers? Do they just not work or do the play sounds in a way that all sounds become mixed up because the soundtrack was designed for 5.1 only?

Some advice would be very much appreciated. I have sound mode set to STANDARD. Sound output [AV]SOUNDBAR Q950A. Bass boost OFF. When watching a 5.1 movie, there is no sound from the rear speakers. I thought STANDARD was used to play back whatever you are watching in it's native format, in this instance a 5.1 movie. The rear speakers do work for me when in SOUND MODE I select surround, game, or adaptive. Is this correct? Is that normal? Or am I doing something wrong? Am I misunderstanding STANDARD? Thank you to anyone in advance.

Good content but let me clarify something. You mentioned you need eARC to play lossless audio and I think you confused lossless audio with uncompressed audio and high res audio. You actually can play lossless audio through ARC. ALAC ( Apple lossless audio codec ) is a lossless audio but it is compressed and you can play this through the regular ARC. Blue-Ray players and game consoles can play High Res uncompressed audio like Dolby TrueHD codec which is a higher audio quality than lossless audio.

Hi Rafael, you seem like you could answer my question. If I have this soundbar connected to my tv via EArc will I get lossless quality ( not hi res ) if I am steaming from the Apple Music app on my smart tv? Or can I only get it by connecting an Apple 4K tv? Thanks.

Could get the q950 a at 1200£ or q950t at 700£ in uk...is a massive difference between them? Is worth to pay the extra money? At the moment i am.using a logitech z906...no dolby atmos...but i have an nvidia shields pro and understand with one.of this soundbars.i can get the dolby atmos.i was confused because my SAMSUNG tv Q8FN doesnt have dolby atmos..or EARC.

If you want Dolby Atoms (LCPM?) through a game console do you have to connect the console directly to the soundbar or can it pass through the TV? Basically I want 120hz gaming and Dolby Atoms - hopefully without having to switch the ports whenever I go back and forth between gaming and media.
@neverenoughtech 2 жыл бұрын
Depends on how your TV supports LPCM and whether your TV has eARC. Passthrough is the safe option
@ithatoneninjai3676 2 жыл бұрын
@@neverenoughtech So if I have the right LCPM on the TV I can plug the console into the HDMI 2.1 port, the bar into the eARC and be good to go for Atmos? I've heard connecting a console to a soundbar can cause latency issues so I'm trying to avoid that.

I used to own the Samsung n950, but ended up selling it. The surrounds were too low, and made a “crackly” noise, and only came alive when playing a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. The Bass woofer was hardly working. Ended up buying the Sonos ARC system, and couldn’t be anymore happy.

@@paul8926 my opinion. The 950a has a more immersive sound stage which gives it a better cinema sound. Better sound separation than the Sonos arc and a better atmos affect.

This is a true story, look at the video of your upcoming 2021 soundbars. I asked you to rate this specific bar poorly so my wife would stay off my back about wanting a new soundbar. You replied you would make sure it was reviewed poorly. I believed you, just like I believed Samsung wouldn’t be so stupid this time around and keep their display on top. Thoroughly let down by both. Shame on you and shame on Samsung. For the record, I bought the q950a from Amazon Warehouse for $1150 a few weeks ago and the system is great, just like your review. Good luck on the house and I look forward to your next video.

Great video again thank you. I have this soundbar may I ask a question: when I watch Netflix or Apple + Dolby atmos movies wich mode should you suggest : the standard with 7.1.4 channels (in this case the other channels remains silent?? another question) or the adaptive with all 11.1.4 channels?? Thank you

Standard is really meant mostly for music - if you’re kind of a purest and want just 2.1. I’d mostly stick with surround or adaptive for TV movies

Hello, nice review. What about connecting bar to Projector? those don't have ARC, just normal HDMI. will I get Atmos? i just want bar to pass video to projector and sound from bar. thx
@neverenoughtech 2 жыл бұрын
I’d have to kind of play with your setup. Normally projectors without ARC are handled with a receiver/amp setup that takes filters audio to audio equipment and video to the projector. My guess is that you can plug your video/audio source straight to the bar and then pass the video to the projector via the bar ARC port. If the projector does not have ARC it won’t pass audio via HDMI. If you need audio going from projector to soundbar you’ll have to use optical or analogue - whatever audio out your projector offers.
